Use a node js function to contain RegEx matches?

Help

I want my workflow to end execution if the RegEx match "ab+c" is found at path {{steps.trigger.event[“atom:content”][“#”}}]. How would I go about doing this?

Hi @ironfist351,

To end the execution of a Pipedream workflow when a specific RegEx match is found, you can use the $.flow.exit method within a Node.js code step. Here’s an example of how you might implement this:

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const regex = /ab+c/;
    const inputString = "Your input string here";

    if (regex.test(inputString)) {
      $.flow.exit("RegEx match found. Exiting workflow.");
    }

    // Rest of your workflow logic
  },
})

In this code, replace "Your input string here" with the actual string you want to test against the RegEx. If the RegEx matches, the workflow will exit with the specified message. If there’s no match, the workflow will continue to execute the logic that follows.
